“…Despite the potential facilitative effects of self-compassion on psychiatric recovery, there has been limited research on this topic conducted among people with mental illness (Kurebayashi & Sugimoto, 2022). Specifically, although existing studies have examined the link between self-compassion and clinical recovery (Savari et al, 2021;Schuling et al, 2020), only a few of them have investigated the relation of self-compassion with personal recovery (Donald et al, 2019;Mak et al, 2021).…”

Objectives The present study aimed to investigate the impact of family support on the recovery of people with mental illness and to explore the potential mechanisms underlying this impact. Specifically, we examined whether family support would be associated with clinical recovery (as indicated by symptom severity, social functioning, and work functioning) and personal recovery (as indicated by recovery perceptions and life satisfaction) among people with mental illness. We also examined whether these associations would be mediated by self-compassion. Method A total of 356 people with mental illness provided cross-sectional questionnaire data on family support, self-compassion, symptom severity, social functioning, work functioning, recovery perceptions, and life satisfaction. Results Path analyses showed that family support was associated positively with self-compassion, which was, in turn, related to lower symptom severity, higher social functioning and work functioning, more positive perceptions of recovery, and greater life satisfaction. Sobel tests and bootstrap analyses further revealed that family support had indirect effects on symptom severity, social functioning, work functioning, recovery perceptions, and life satisfaction via self-compassion. Conclusions Our findings indicate that people with mental illness who receive greater support from the family are better able to have self-caring attitudes. With higher levels of self-compassion, they may have less psychopathology and better functioning. They may also have more positive experiences and perceptions of recovery and attain greater levels of life satisfaction and enjoyment. Preregistration This study is not preregistered.

Self-criticism has been considered as a transdiagnostic dimension that contributes to the development of several mental health difficulties. Moreover, there is a significant association between self-criticism and emotion regulation difficulties. Of special interest are two variables, related to emotion dysregulation, that have garnered significant attention in recent years: emotional overproduction and the perseveration of negative emotions. By contrast, increased self-compassion has been proposed as a protective mechanism of mental health symptoms, specifically depression. The present study used Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to investigate the relationship between self-criticism, self-compassion, and depressive symptoms, while considering emotional overproduction and perseveration of negative emotions as mediating variables. A cross-sectional design was used. The sample consisted of 453 participants who completed measures of self-criticism, self-compassion, depressive symptoms, emotional overproduction, and perseveration of negative emotions. Results indicate that emotional overproduction mediates the relationship between self-criticism and depressive symptoms. Additionally, both emotional overproduction and the perseveration of negative emotions mediate the negative association between self-compassion and depressive symptoms. Therefore, developing self-compassion may diminish the negative impact of self-criticism on depressive symptoms through these two variables. In conclusion, this study deepens our understanding of the mechanism by which self-compassion can mitigate mental health problems such as depressive symptoms.
